It will also bring the two countries closer together, I think, by forcing us to examine our common history.
Here's hoping.
Notice how Korvinus never answered the question about the reason of his hatred for Russia. It's not that he doesn't want to tell us, he simply doesn't know. Or maybe he knows there's no valid reason.
What valid reason for this kind of galactic-scale hatred might there be?
1. The partitions? It's almost ancient history, and people don't seem to hate Germany or Austria anymore, so
that's not it.
2. The uprisings? Probably not as it's also ancient history;
that's not it.3. 1920? I don't think so. We won the war, so it would be strange to hold a grudge for so long after a victory;
that's not it.
4. 1939? I don't think so - we don't hate the Germans anymore, and they caused incomparably more suffering than Russians, and most people don't even remember that Slovaks invaded us back then too;
that's not it.5. KatyĆ? Well, Russia apologised for it (unlike Ukraine who not only never apologised for Volyn Genocide but even celebrates the perpetrators as national heroes) so it would again be weird to hold a grudge, especially that we forgave Germans much more.
6. 1945-1989? I don't think so. It's not like Russians in the USSR were filthy rich back then and we were poor because of the "occupation". We shared in the common poverty. Let's not forget that before WW2 people were emigrating from Poland even to Romania (yes, bloody Romania!) to find better life, and it was the "communist" Poland that practically eradicated illiteracy and improved the lives of majority of Poles compared to the interwar misery.
So, that's not it.
So... what the heck is it, Korvinus? Perhaps you will be so kind as to tell us.
